I do not understand why would you raise k3, 34s, and you even said cold call, that's just bullshit.

you are trying to steal the blinds, you are hopign the sb/bb folds and even if they don't you have POSITION on them postflop. K3s isnt a bad hand vs a random hand in the sb or bb, especially if you can play well postflop. If you can't play well postflop, then you shouldnt raise these kinds of hands on teh button when OPEN FOLDED to you.

How many Tournys do you usually play a day? How many do you play at the same time?

I'll go with a typical weekday schedule.


1 pm- Stars $109/ Tilt $75 6 max
2 pm- Stars $109 rebuy/ Tilt $26
3 pm- Stars $55/ Tilt $163
315- Stars $55 rebuy
4- Stars $11 rebuy/ Tilt $75
5- Stars $55
7- Stars $109/ Tilt $75
8- Stars $109 rebuy/Tilt 163/Tilt $26
9- Stars $162/ Stars $22rebuy/Tilt $75
10-Stars $11 rebuy/Tilt $26
11- Stars $109/ Tilt $109 6 max

Thats the full slate, I don't play them all every day, if I'm deep in bigger tourneys I won't start some of those $26s and I don't always play the 4 and 5 pms and sometimes dont play the $109 rebuys, actually been starting at 3 last few times I've played.

I'm mostly in local bars and see the same people so I mostly know everyone
, the last girl who I didnt know at a bar that I talked to, my opening line was simply "you're not from around here are you", we talked a lot and she was actually the granddaughter of the owners of Swifty Farms(big local horse farm) and she was visiting for the xmas party, she actually knew my great uncle who transports horses from indiana to kentucky to florida for them all the time. went off on a tangent there, but I don't go up to random girls all that often.

just in general, just totally depends on the situation


LOL I just totally misread your question, I see it now. okay

If it comes up, I'll tell them I'm a professional poker player

Matt:


I was watching your replays that you posted in the poker room. I noticed early in the game you will push all in with aa kk ak aq. My question to you is will you push all in pre flop with QQ?

you are probably referring to some massive overbets preflop you seen me do. Those were in rebuys during the rebuy period when everyone gambles, yes I shove all big pairs and AK/AQ during that period a lot of the time.

matt i think i have the best ?'s of most asked...before i ask them...i am a winning player ATB (obviously not even close to your level) but im a winning player in cash games/sit n go and MTT's (all online specifically)....

the one thing ive never grasped is REBUYS! why GODDAMN rebuys, like many here im sure....ive read negreanu's blog when he rebuys 15X in a rebuy tourney (and he laughs about it)...how do you approach these rebuys? ive always been a tight player yet in rebuys the stack size's increase 5X faster than in regular tourneys (which makes sense) but (probably not good for tighers players) ive never been the type of player to get out the blocks that quick...if its a 1000chip starting tourney i usually try to be around 2-3K after the 1st level (in NL)...with rebuys there are LOTS of people already into 10K+++...

how do you do approach these tourneys? and how does one do well in them? (bc im a fish out of water in them)

these are my best tourneys and the most fun, because after the add on period, you have a lot of chips compared to the blinds so there is more play in them. Your strategy should be to get all in during the rebuy period and try to double up and even more. You can't fear rebuying.
